1: Tennessee Titans: Love what they did throughout the draft.
Picked my #1 player in this draft, when they picked Chance Warmack. Great talent, who fills a huge need on the o-line.
Justin Hunter has the potential to be #1 WR. His catch radius and ability to adjust to the ball will help Jake Locker and his spotty accuracy.
Blidi Wreh Wilson has starter potential. So does Brian Schwenke.
Zaviar Gooden and Lavar Edwards adds nice depth to the roster.
Thats two potential studs in Warmack and Hunter, two solid starters in Wilson and Schwenke, and two solid back ups. Thats a great haul in my book.

2: St. Louis Rams: The two first round picks of Austin and Ogletree are somewhat risky, but comes with equally high upside. If they play up to their potential, the Rams have landed two great playmakers.
Not particularly high on TJ McDonald, but hell get a chance to start as a rookie. Well see how that goes.
Love the Stedman Bailey and Barrett Jones picks. I think theyll see a lot of snaps sooner rather than later. Zac Stacy is one of my favourite sleeper candidates this year, and has a chance to become a starter imo.
Les Snead is quickly rising up my list of favourite GMs.

3: Houston Texans: With their first two picks the Texans got my favourite WR and S in this class, so Im bound to like it. Hopkins will be a great compliment to Andre Johnson, and has the ability to take over as a #1 WR down the line. Swearinger will crack the starting line up sooner rather than late, and I think hell be a beast in the secondary.
Brennan Williams is a great run blocker, and has a legit shot at winning the starting spot at RT this year.
Sam Montgomery and Trevardo Williams will add some quality depth to the pass rush rotation. (Assuming Montgomery keeps his head on straight.)
Dont know a lot about David Quessenberry, but I think hell be a valuable back up, who can fill in on different positions on the o-line.

Since I try and avoid being a huge homer out in public I wont rank the Ravens draft, but lets just say Im very happy with the crop Ozzie brought home this year.

I like both of these drafts. If Ogletree turns out the Rams did very well.

The Titans did very good too. Warmack and Schwenke solidify the inside and Hunter will become the best WR of this draft class.

Bears- To me this draft has the feel of the Hawks draft of last year. Where they took players that they wanted. And maybe a few spots too high but they did not care. Long can become a very good OG/RT in some time just needs more reps on the field. Redid their LB core with 2nd and 4th round picks with young Backers that fly to the ball. But the 6th and 7th round picks are what make it for me. Washington is a size speed freak who could become a late round gem. And Wilson before being kicked off his team had second round WR all over him.

Jets- I know they're a mess. But they got some nice players in this draft. Drafting Milliner makes this team have a top 5 CB Core again. Richardson as a DE in Rex's system to me has Pro Bowler all over it. With his blitzing style Richardson will be put into one on one's all the time. Getting what some think is the best QB at 39 doesn't hurt as well. My view is you cut Tebow ( done) and Sanchez ( coming soon ). Have Garrard start and Smith back him up. Get the circus out of town already. Winters to me is a guy that will be a starter for 6 to 8 years, nothing special but a guy that will show up and play hard. Trading for Ivory was big. I think he can be a 1200 yard back. Best back the Jets have had when Jones was in town.

SF -- Got a lot of talent. I believe Reid will be the best safety from this draft. Carradine would have gone top 20 if not injured. Lemonier was a steal. Patton was a steal. Late gamble on Lattimore could pay off.

Rams -- NFC West is going to be a beast. Love the Austin pick and pairing him with his teammate Stedman Bailey. Really helped Bradford.

Tennessee --- Got most dominating player in the draft in Warmack and a receiver in Hunter who could be a superstar.

Miami -- Love the trade up for Jordan, who I think will be the best pass rusher in this class. Taylor is a very good corner. Thomas is a solid LG and Sims is a late round TE steal.

Minnesota -- Rhodes is probably the most physical corner from this draft. Patterson is a big play ready to happen and Floyd was projected top 10.

As reported this was a truly deep deep draft. Lots of great talent late into the draft. If your team did not draft well and stockpile talent this year, they may never will. Its easy to like quite a few teams draft.

Cooper is a all world OG that will grow with the two young OT's that played better at the end of last season. Minter is now one of those LB's that fell to round two and will show up and make 100 tackles. Mathieu will make plays when on the field. It's up to him on how long he gets to play in the NFL. Then this is what I really like about this draft Okafor, football player. Knows how to get to the QB. Taylor, football player. Leading rusher at his collage. How many people can say that? Ellington, people had him as a 3rd round RB. Swope, what a good looking 4th WR. Has speed to beat people deep.

I probably could've said this before the draft even happened but:
Baltimore Ravens - one team that got great value and filled big needs with pretty much every pick. Arthur brown at 56 is just sick, can't believe Te'o and Minter went before him, what a steal. I think Elam is actually an upgrade from Pollard, just an all around amazing draft. I'm interested to see Aaron Mellette as well, he was definitely an intriguing prospect. I wish Ozzie Newsome was my GM :(

I think that the Ravens draft while smart, is being slightly overrated. I still don't see how Arthur Brown can fill Ray's shoes, and I like Arthur Brown. Elam fits them. While they got younger, I don't know that they necessarily got any better. Having said that, I don't know if they needed to. I just think lot of other teams did better in terms of IMPROVING their teams.

Tennessee probably should have added another QB option. Miami? I have to see how they are going to use Jordan. This is the first prospect I have seen lauded as the best pass rusher who didn't rush the passer much in college. Also, there was a report that Jordon is UNDER 240 lbs.

I was responding to 'who had the best draft' as in, who got the best value and filled needs with their picks, not 'who improved the most from the draft.' If we're simply basing it on who improved their team the most for 2013, its probably the Vikings just because they got 3 immediate starters at positions of need, hard for any other team to claim that.

Chargers got 3 starters as well.

It's going to be the Ravens, Packers, Seahawks, or Giants, because they're going to hit on a couple of their late round picks. If I wanted to make a career as a sports writer and look like a brilliant analyst, I'd just start raving about those guys right now.

I briefly admired the Cardinals draft. Then I remembered, they are the Cardinals. Which made me doubt whether I know anything about this drafting process in general.

From a Seattle standpoint, I really liked what the other teams in our division did. SF didn't replace Justin Smith and really outside of Lemonier, I thought they drafted poorly. All of their guys outside of McDonald, Lemonier and if lucky, Lattimore seem to be NFL average at most kind of guys. Big names, but otherwise not high reward types. My Seahawks fanhood giggled when they traded up for Eric Reid.

St. Louis, seemed like they were hit/miss. I really don't regard Austin very highly and I seem to be on an island with that one. So I'll just presume he's going to be a moderately productive slot WR in the NFL. I can't really consider him much of an upgrade to Danny Amendola -- as he was wildly productive for the Rams last year. Ogletree I'm not a fan of. I liked the Bailey, Stacy and McDonald picks -- factoring in where they were drafted. St. Louis needs some quality role player starters. I think they did well in day three/four in getting some of those. Didn't care for Ogletree, Jones and McGee.
